Chapter 505: A role model of black-hearted and ruthless

Sun Daoning had not yet been promoted, but looking at the joy in his eyes, he shouldn't be far from being promoted.

"What is this?"

Sun Daoning looked at the manuscript on the table and asked in confusion. His body subconsciously avoided it, as if he wanted to avoid a hot potato.

Chen Guanlou specially changed into a decent suit of clothes today and came to the Ministry of Justice to meet Sun Daoning. The meeting went very smoothly; the gatekeeper reported it, and he saw the person.

He said to the other party: "This is Jiang Tu's petition, entrusted to me to find a way to send it to the palace."

"You, you are simply acting recklessly! How could you submit a petition on behalf of Jiang Tu, and even delusionally try to drag me into the water." Sun Daoning was so angry his face turned blue; he seemed unable to believe that Chen Guanlou, who had always been seasoned in his dealings, would actually commit such a rash act.

"He gave twenty thousand taels."

No defense, no explanation, opening the mouth hit the point.

"Ten thousand taels of it, calculated in antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, calculated at 30% of the market price. I asked someone to look at it, and one of the paintings seems to have a great background; I heard it seems to have been taken out of the palace."

Speaking of the origin of the painting, Chen Guanlou specially lowered his voice. Those who understand, understand; works of art taken out of the palace must be masterpieces. If there is also the late Emperor's seal on it, the value doubles. The premise is that this thing cannot see the light and can only circulate privately.

It is excellent for giving gifts, and anyone with a certain level of appreciation for antiques, calligraphy, and paintings will definitely not refuse such a generous gift. It can be treasured as a family heirloom, and after fifty or a hundred years, once this thing sees the light, it will definitely be snatched by people, and the price will increase tenfold. Even if the family falls into decline in a few decades, relying on such a painting can also lead a prosperous life, and perhaps even turn around because of this.

Masterpieces are hard to come by, all hidden in the homes of powerful families, not easily taken out to see people. If you want to encounter them and put them in your hands, it is hard to find.

Now that the masterpiece is in front of you, just ask if you want it?

Sun Daoning was indeed moved.

He gritted his teeth, appearing extremely angry.

The angrier he was, the more he wanted it. But because there were risks involved, he was angry.

"Do you know how many people are staring at the Jiang Prefecture now, and you actually took antiques, calligraphy, and paintings from the Jiang Prefecture, and they were taken out of the palace."

"This is Jiang Tu's petition, can Master help send it to the palace?" Chen Guanlou didn't talk nonsense, didn't defend, and asked directly.

"Impossible!" Sun Daoning refused sternly, "You are framing this official. Jiang Tu is a treacherous official, a treacherous official that everyone shouts to beat, and the matter involves the altar explosion case; it is impossible for this official to help him send a petition and give him a chance to turn around. Do you know that once this official does this, this official will have no foothold in the officialdom."

"Then if His Majesty wants to summon Jiang Tu..."

"Absolutely impossible. Prison Clerk Chen, your stance has deviated; how can you help a treacherous official do things for the sake of mere money. If you do this, this official thinks you are no longer suitable to continue sitting in the position of prison clerk of the Jia-grade prison. Considering your past merits, this official should have promoted you to the Ministry of Justice to work long ago."

Sun Daoning was warning, almost pointing at Chen Guanlou's nose and scolding: If you dare to mess around, I will transfer you away from the gold and silver nest.

Chen Guanlou, however, was not in a hurry, sat down in the chair, and planned to have a heart-to-heart talk.

"The court needs a treacherous official, a treacherous official who can take the blame for His Majesty at any time. This treacherous official candidate could be provided by Yu Zhaoan, or could be provided by Xie Changling. Both of them have lived in the Heavenly Prison, and I understand them. They realized the Dao in the Heavenly Prison and are no longer the upright gentlemen who followed the officialdom rules of the past. Just like this poisoning before His Majesty ascended the throne, Xie Changling must have something to do with it."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Sun Daoning was about to be angered to death. He got up, walked to the door, confirmed that there was no one outside, and then closed the office door again. He lowered his voice and scolded: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"I want to remind Master that the treacherous official candidate can be provided by them, or can be provided by Master. Jiang Tu said that if he can turn around, he is willing to offer all his family property to His Majesty.

His Majesty lacks money; Master borrows flowers to offer to Buddha, offering Jiang Tu's family property to solve His Majesty's worries. Then Master will surely get what he wants. Beside His Majesty, there are those former Eastern Palace officials like Xie Changling surrounding him, and there are heavy ministers of the Secretariat surrounding him. If Master wants to have a place in front of His Majesty, he must take a sword and go sideways.

Doesn't Master want to enter the Secretariat, doesn't he want to be a prime minister, doesn't he want to be the first minister? Xie Changling is young, only in his thirties, and he enters the Secretariat; he will definitely leave a mark in the history books. Regardless of whether he can be a prime minister.

Yu Zhaoan, serving as prime minister at the youngest age, will also leave a name in the history books, and his personal experience will also become legendary.

Sun Daoning is a reader, and also a martial artist. He thinks that whether it is knowledge or talent, he is not inferior to others. He has not made progress for many years, and he has many regrets in his heart. This time, relying on the new Emperor's ascension, he worked hard and wanted to go further. Currently, it seems that the matter is progressing smoothly.

However... the promotion edict has not come down for a day, and there are variables in this matter.

"Master, wealth is sought in danger!"

Chen Guanlou saw that Sun Daoning was moved, and made persistent efforts, continuing to apply medicine.

"The antiques, calligraphy, and paintings obtained from the Jiang Prefecture this time, I have arranged for people to send them all to Master's mansion. In addition, four thousand taels were deposited in the bank, which is the withdrawal voucher."

Chen Guanlou left the seal on the table, "Use the seal to get money, take it at any time."

The bank's business recognizes the seal, not the person.

"Jiang Tu has a reputation outside, can't we change to someone else?" Sun Daoning was clearly persuaded by Chen Guanlou, but he didn't want to use Jiang Tu, disgusted that Jiang Tu's reputation was too dirty and would implicate himself.

Chen Guanlou nodded, "Jiang Tu said that everyone in the Jiang Prefecture is at Master's disposal."

Sun Daoning sneered, "Jiang Tu can say that? Could it be that you told him the relationship between you and me?"

"Master is joking. I know the rules. But I can guarantee that every word I say, Jiang Tu will not object. He is now for the sake of survival, for the sake of turning around, and he is going all out. Even if everyone in the Jiang Prefecture dies, in exchange for his survival alone, he is willing."

Sun Daoning smiled, and suddenly changed his words: "According to what you said, Jiang Tu cannot be kept. I want his family property, but I dislike him being redundant. If you can handle this matter, I promise to give you an official position if you want an official position, and money if you want money. You can take 50% from Jiang Tu's family property, how about that?" ===== CHAPTER 506 =====

"My lord is joking. I understand all the rules. But I can guarantee that Jiang Tu will not object to a single word I have said. In order to survive and make a comeback, he has truly gone all out. If everyone in the Jiang Fu dies in exchange for him living alone, he would be willing."

Sun Daoning smiled and suddenly changed his tune, saying, "According to what you say, this scoundrel Jiang Tu cannot be kept. I want his family assets, and I find his person to be redundant. If you can handle this matter, I promise to give you an official position if you want one, and money if you want money. You can take five parts from Jiang Tu's assets for yourself, how about that?"
